Discover what it's like to be a BFA Dance Major at Temple University.  This two-week summer program includes daily classes in Ballet, Modern, Improvisation and Dance Composition along with guest workshops on dance cultures, theory, and dance for film. At the end of the first week students will attend a performance event in the City. The program finishes with students showing their final dance compositions on campus at historic Conwell Dance Theater. 

This interactive workshop centers on the creative and technical fundamentals of screenwriting, cinematography, directing, editing and sound for digital short storytelling. With the mentorship of Temple FMA Instructors, you will learn and implement the filmmaking process from inception through completion. By the end of this dynamic program, you will have completed your own film that includes dramatic arc, cinematic framing and composition, shot sequencing, continuity editing and sound design. Title design and end credits will be created for complete finessing of each project.

Learn how to build a mobile robot and program it to perform tasks such as avoiding obstacles, following lane lines, playing music, dancing, and more. This program is an introduction to college-level electrical and computer engineering. 

Both programs are two weeks long and non-credit. While Summer Institutes and Intensives are topic-specific programs for high school students who want to focus intensely on one area of study, Pre-College Workshops allows students to mix and match classes to explore multiple interests. In either program, you will learn in small classes, alongside other high school students, from Temple faculty, graduate students, and staff, and you will get lots of support from our Temple student staff along the way. You will apply what you learn to real-world challenges, and leave with a better understanding of what you may want to study in college.

Most Institutes or Intensives cost $1,100 per session. This fee covers one (1) two-week, non-credit workshop, ongoing mentorship and support from Temple undergraduate students, college knowledge seminars, and access to a robust schedule of evening and weekend social activities.
